Welcome Home

Well it's finally done. All of the blood (re-upholstering), sweat (moving) and tears (of happiness) proved worth it now that Jeff and I are all settled into our new place. Take a little peek inside of what all of the hard work, love, and passion that went into our new home created!

I'm always looking for good crafty projects that involve clever ideas wrought from everyday items. I came across this idea from two separate Daily Candy posts and it's genius! Just find cool plates and neat trinkets, candle sticks, tea cups, etc... combine them, and poof! You've got yourself an amazing new cake stand. I'll let you know when I get around to making one of these myself...

Home Sweet Home (Part 2)

The holidays have really got me thinking about home. The home that's still in my head is that of my childhood- even as a "grown up". It is a magical land of kittens and moss and damp leaves and fuzzy socks and warm soup and movie nights by the fire. This gets me thinking about what MY home will be one day, so I've compiled some pieces of inspiration for Part 2 of my concept of home- grown of my past, present, and future.

If Part 2 had a mission statement, it would be this: bright but still warm, vintage but still modern, quirky, lovely, and a place I hope to throw fabulous dinner parties (possibly catered- we all know how well I cook), escape from the world, and cuddle up to the fire in. It will be a place that both Anna Wintour and Harry Potter would feel just as comfortable. Oh, and it will likely have some nod to surfing, ravenous unicorns, and lightning bolts ;)

Cool Kids

Although I've partially given up my "hipster ways" (yes, I really did just say that), I can't help but indulge in the occasional cool kid blog...
